Properly Securing Child

WARNING:

Serious injury or death can result if child is not properly 

secured in restraint.

Confirm harness is snug* before each use and after making 

any restraint adjustments.
1.  Confirm proper restraint installation.
2.  To loosen harness: lift harness 

adjuster and pull shoulder 

straps forward.  (Fig. 1)

3.  Unfasten harness clip and 

harness buckle, and move 

harness straps to the sides.

4.  Raise head support to its top 

position 

(see page 32)

 and 

place child in restraint.

5.  Position harness straps around 

child and fasten buckle and harness clip.  (Figs. 2 & 3)

Confirm harness clip and buckle are properly fastened by 

gently tugging on each.
6.  Gently pull harness straps upward to snugly fit lap portion 

of harness which should fit low on child’s body, across the 

hips.

7.  Slowly pull adjuster strap 

downward to tighten harness 

for a comfortable and snug fit 

around child.  (Fig. 4)

*A snug harness strap should not 

allow any slack.  It lies in a relatively 

straight line without sagging.  It 

does not press on the child’s flesh or 

push the child’s body into an 

unnatural position.
